eratlona here September let, bo discontinued and a car which cquld be

clala aeat a one-man est which oould
be operated Irom both ends to Amherat snd haa been is uae up to and
Including yesterday.
Charles Elltot, superintendent ef
thia dlrlslon ot the C. 8. A C. Railway
company, was preaent at tbe council
meeting Tuesday night, asking per-
mission to run the newly furnished
and equipped car here for a short
time eo aa to determine whether or
■at there was any danker In a one-man
«ar or not.
From all reports, the danger Ilea in
tbe backing of the car from the Milan
avenue tracks to the Main atreet
tracks. As one man cannot watch
both e-MUU of the csr at the same time
several oltitens aa well aa Marshal
Wm. MlHer teamed it wise to.task
the Oreen Uaie officials to run a different car over he«re. . ^
Mr. Bitot stated tbat all care would
be taken te prevent aay accident if the

to run the specially built car into Amherat
The council, in order to co-operate
with the C. S. A C. Railway company gave tbe permission to run the ear
over here until it oould be determined
whether or not it waa dangerous.
Mr. Billot further stated that he did
sot care to send the old ear here because of ita dilapidated appearance aa

here, that wni be satisfactory to all
those concerned.

tor better financing ot public schools,
the strengthening of weak school districts, more practical methods of pupil transportation and changes in the
school building code.
It expects to place such a program
before tbe legislature and to urge and
work for Its adoption.
An invitation to local boards to join
the association, that they may have
opportunity for full representation In
Its formulation of measures for school
Improvement, waa sent Out by tbe ea-
soclatlon this week.
The Invitation says lu part: "It it
the common experience ot all of our
Ohio school boards that boards of ad
ucktlon trequenlty are powerless to
bring about needed improvement In
their own school districts. In many
matters, particularly those applying to
the financing of schools, tbe Oblo
school code fixes rigid limits beyond
whlcb Individual boards cannot bo.
Every board of education, to secure
good schools for Its community, must
co-operate with other boards of education ia the state to tbe end tbat auch
amalgamating ot educational forces
will bring s atrong and effective unity. Tbe Ohio State Association ot
achool boards is based on this idea."
Temporary officers were elected by
tbe association following its organisation at Columbus last April. Another
election of officers will be held In the
winter. Those, serving now are: president, J. M. Wlthrow, Cincinnati board
ot education; vlcs-presldent, 0. D.
Owens, Beverly board of education;
M. Hunter, and C. J. SchmidJ, Dayton; Dr. C. D. Morgan and C. W.

Howard Johnson, Went Jefferson;
Mrs. Pearl Mot lock and Mrs, Anne
Hurke Norton, West Park; J. A. Kan-
ny and Horace Anderson, Xenla; W.
M. l'orter, Youngstown.
The association officials make no secret of the fact that the organization
will bring to bear a powerful organized force lu matters ot legislation
pertaining to the public schools. *
"In the past," it is declared in the
letter ot invitation to local boards,
"the educational forces of Ohio have
never followed the practice of first
studying the problem and then going
before the legislature with a statewide public school program- Some Individual achool district* have sent representatives to Columbus to recommend the pMsage of necessary school
legislation. Such action, however, haa
beeu spasmodic and irregular,, and
such suggested legislation has been
based upon the needs of Isolated communities rather than upon tbe needs
of the whole state."
In an Interview wl'h Superintendent F. H. Powers yesterday, he stated
that he was to present the matter to
the local school board and that he
thought they would be in favor of the
Idea.

thut the department now pays an annual rental for buildings wblch bouse
all of our post offices, totaling more
than $12,000,000._ These figures have
been growing at a iremendos rate recently as leuses expired and owners

The Government can hen-row mon-
ay ut 4 pet- cent to buy or build post

•eVorlt. Whereas, wheff leused, the
government pay.-* u renta' lilgh enough

BIG "SQUABBLE" OVER
MILAN AVE. TRAFFIC
RESIDENTS PROTEST DRIVING ON
MILAN AVENUE BEFORE THE
STREET IS OPENED BV THE
VILLAGE ENGINEERS
lire hukc several people have driven
over the freshly laiel concrete on Milan avenue several of the residents on
that street were present at tbe coun
ell meeting Tuesday night to ascertain
whether the street was opened, whether It was not, who was to see that
machines are to be kept off from it In
the event that It had not, and lastly.
to find out who was 'o swear out tbe
warrant in case any one was to drive
over It.
The abov« questions were fired at
the council In rapid succession and
not all were nettled and some of tbe
resident)* went away just as much uninformed as they were when they
came.
The first and most important thing
settled wan the opening of Milan avenue from Main street to the bridge.
Several residents requested that. In
view of the fact that the concrete had
been laid the required twenty-one days
or near that number that the street
bu opened that far. Engineer Warden
stated that the concrete was in good
condition there and that it would be
perfectly safe to drive over It. As a
result the street was opened to tbe
bridge* yesterday morning.
The next important question was
not settled and • that was concerning
people who have driven over the
pavement before the street waa
opened. Reports show that several
numbers have been turned In and
nothing bus been done with the drivers of tbe machines. Several residents expressed themselves that they
did not think it fair to let certain persons drive over it unless everybody
had the same right and that those so
doing should be prosecuted.
It is u known fact that people have
driven over the pavement with the
barrier signs still up and according to
law a line of 5 to 50 dollars can be
given to violators. No action was
taken on this mutter and the matter
will undoubtedly be dropped.
Another feature of the meeting was
the fact that the council' did not believe they shoeTald atate when a person could or could not drive on tbe
pavement for It was not in their power. The contractor, likewise, believed
that he could not state when the road
was to be opened and that It was up
to the council to set a date. It can
readily be seen thut both parties were
expecting the other to take action,
and as a result no one took any action. It was finally settled by the engineers, as they considered the concrete hard enough to drive upon It
from Main street to the bridge. They
further instructed the contractor to
open the street a few yards more each
day so us not to keep the Btreet closed
uny longer than possible.
In spite of the heated arguments
und dissatisfaction which some received It is now thought that there
will be no more trouble over the matter us long, as persons driving machines go as far as the barriers and
uo farther.

It expects to place such a program before tbe legislature and to urge and work for Its adoption. An invitation to local boards to join the association, that they may have opportunity for full representation In Its formulation of measures for school Improvement, waa sent Out by tbe ea- soclatlon this week. The Invitation says lu part: "It it the common experience ot all of our Ohio school boards that boards of ad ucktlon trequenlty are powerless to bring about needed improvement In their own school districts. In many matters, particularly those applying to the financing of schools, tbe Oblo school code fixes rigid limits beyond whlcb Individual boards cannot bo. Every board of education, to secure good schools for Its community, must co-operate with other boards of education ia the state to tbe end tbat auch amalgamating ot educational forces will bring s atrong and effective unity. Tbe Ohio State Association ot achool boards is based on this idea." Temporary officers were elected by tbe association following its organisation at Columbus last April. Another election of officers will be held In the winter. Those, serving now are: president, J. M. Wlthrow, Cincinnati board ot education; vlcs-presldent, 0. D. Owens, Beverly board of education; M.

Kan- ny and Horace Anderson, Xenla; W. M. l'orter, Youngstown. The association officials make no secret of the fact that the organization will bring to bear a powerful organized force lu matters ot legislation pertaining to the public schools. * "In the past" it is declared in the letter ot invitation to local boards, "the educational forces of Ohio have never followed the practice of first studying the problem and then going before the legislature with a statewide public school program- Some Individual achool district* have sent representatives to Columbus to recommend the pMsage of necessary school legislation. Such action, however, haa beeu spasmodic and irregular,, and such suggested legislation has been based upon the needs of Isolated communities rather than upon tbe needs of the whole state." In an Interview wl'h Superintendent F. H. Powers yesterday, he stated that he was to present the matter to the local school board and that he thought they would be in favor of the Idea. Speclul to News-Times. By Robert Fuller. Washington, D. C, Sept. 7.—Uncle Sum is going to Invest In Amherst real estate, aa soon aa the plan of Postmaster General Work Is authorized by congress.

It is national In scope aud when put into operation will save tbe government $500,000,000 in ten years. Tired Paying Rent Postmaster Oeneral Work in his letter to President Harding explained thut the department now pays an annual rental for buildings wblch bouse all of our post offices, totaling more than $12,000,000._ These figures have been growing at a iremendos rate recently as leuses expired and owners demand and obtained substantial Increases.

The Government can hen-row mon- ay ut 4 pet- cent to buy or build post til. . t*. which will be tux free, says •eVorlt.

TRAFFIC RESIDENTS PROTEST DRIVING ON MILAN AVENUE BEFORE THE STREET IS OPENED BV THE VILLAGE ENGINEERS lire hukc several people have driven over the freshly laiel concrete on Milan avenue several of the residents on that street were present at tbe coun ell meeting Tuesday night to ascertain whether the street was opened, whether It was not, who was to see that machines are to be kept off from it In the event that It had not, and lastly. to find out who was 'o swear out tbe warrant in case any one was to drive over It. The abov« questions were fired at the council In rapid succession and not all were nettled and some of tbe resident)* went away just as much uninformed as they were when they came. The first and most important thing settled wan the opening of Milan avenue from Main street to the bridge. Several residents requested that. In view of the fact that the concrete had been laid the required twenty-one days or near that number that the street bu opened that far. Engineer Warden stated that the concrete was in good condition there and that it would be perfectly safe to drive over It. As a result the street was opened to tbe bridge* yesterday morning. The next important question was not settled and • that was concerning people who have driven over the pavement before the street waa opened. Reports show that several numbers have been turned In and nothing bus been done with the drivers of tbe machines. Several residents expressed themselves that they did not think it fair to let certain persons drive over it unless everybody had the same right and that those so doing should be prosecuted. It is u known fact that people have driven over the pavement with the barrier signs still up and according to law a line of 5 to 50 dollars can be given to violators. No action was taken on this mutter and the matter will undoubtedly be dropped. Another feature of the meeting was the fact that the council' did not believe they shoeTald atate when a person could or could not drive on tbe pavement for It was not in their power. The contractor, likewise, believed that he could not state when the road was to be opened and that It was up to the council to set a date. It can readily be seen thut both parties were expecting the other to take action, and as a result no one took any action. It was finally settled by the engineers, as they considered the concrete hard enough to drive upon It from Main street to the bridge. They further instructed the contractor to open the street a few yards more each day so us not to keep the Btreet closed uny longer than possible. In spite of the heated arguments und dissatisfaction which some received It is now thought that there will be no more trouble over the matter us long, as persons driving machines go as far as the barriers and uo farther.
